Well Thursday was a total wash out with rain and fog ALL day long starting when I rolled out around 6'ish and still raining when I hit the sack around 10'ish. I never went off the porch except once for just a second to make sure the truck windows were up tight and then to check the rain gauge on the side of the deck. That was around 10 when the rain slacked just a little to a heavy sprinkle and by then we had about 3/4 of an inch. Thankfully there wasn't any real gully washers.
We spent the day doing some piddly inside chores and then played cards, watched some videos and read. I finished a fantastic true story titled UNMASKED about a criminalist Paul Hole who eventually solved who the Golden State Killer was after several years as a cold case in California. His killing and raping spree lasted several years and moved from north California to the southern area of the state before being identified using ancestry and DNA. A very interesting page turner story of his life and his job and the many cases he investigated in the state.
Nancy had a pot of dried baby lima beans on the stove which smelled good all afternoon on this cool damp day. We ate healthy with oatmeal for breakfast, a salad for lunch and the lima's with left over scalloped turnips and a slice of ham. I did get a surprise delivery from UPS around 2'ish in rain. I opened it to a very nice pickle ball bag and no idea who sent it, but someone knew I play the game in Florida daily. Well it turns out it was sister Dee and Mike who just got back from being in Nebraska with their oldest daughter Hally Jo and family for the month of July. We had a nice conversation after we figured out it was her who sent the bag. Mike is now retired and she works part time with the county gov't office in Woodstock as they now travel out west and then down to the Tampa Bay area for their other daughter Kelly and family who is stationed at the MacDill AFB. We hope to see them in September when we venture up to Woodstock for a long weekend. That was about it for this rainy, damp day, LATER
